Why provide the number of characters in the answers of challenge quizzes?

Why do quiz creators and Sololearn make it easy for the participant of a quiz by providing the exact number of characters in the answer to a quiz question? I am not entirely complaining because I can sometimes guess the answer by knowing the length of the answer without knowing the actual answer. But is this good for evaluating someone's knowledge?

AL Araf thanks for the response. I don't really want to email the Sololearn authorities about it because it has an advantage too. Most Sololearners do challenges to learn, at least in the early part of their Sololearn journey, and having this type of hint (based on the length of the answer) could help them in their learning. It's a bit similar to viewing the correct answers but before even the quiz is finished.

I agree! I suppose it was easier to write the code this way. Or they didn't think about it. Maybe you can email your suggestion to them?

If anyone doesn't know the answer of any questions,he/she can be conscious when the length of the blank by seeing the extension of the blank length!!! I also wish to remove the way..... the developer should create such option as if it doesn't extend when anyone gives wrong answer!! But I have doubt that it might not possible to make all the blank length same.... because some answers are too large and some are small!!! By the way it should be informed to SoloLearn outhority!!

AL Araf , I wasn't thinking about making all the blank spaces of the same large length. They could be all of, say, length 2, and expand as you write more in them.

Kishalaya Saha yeah.. The blank length might be a specific length!! A specific length for both large and small blank .

By the way Sonic and Kishalaya Saha I saw a post that the quiz should not be hard for Challenger! I saw the post which was posted by a mod as much I can remember!!
